4 background The Baltic and International Maritime Council ( BIMCO ) Uniform General Charter, or GENCON, is the standard form voyage charterparty most commonly used worldwide. GENCON was first issued by BIMCO in 1922 and was revised in 1976 and This article analyses the latest revised version GENCON GENCON 1994 consists of two parts. Part I is the box form which all the necessary information can be conveniently inserted and seen by the parties. The details to be inserted in this part are freely negotiable and may be traded back and forth. Part II contains all the standard terms and conditions which are usually non-negotiable, though it is common for the parties to amend some of the printed clauses by way of attaching a rider which overrides them or incorporates the standard terms into a negotiated fixture note. 3
5 part i There are 26 boxes in total in Part I. Boxes 1 to 7 describe the identity of the parties and the details and capacity of the vessel. The phrase DWT all told on summer load line in metric tons (abt.) in Box 7 refers to the maximum weight of cargo, bunkers, constant weight, etc. that the vessel can carry on summer draught. The stated deadweight tonnage cannot be taken as a guarantee since the maximum tonnage the vessel can carry is dependent upon the stowage factor of the particular cargo being carried. Boxes 8 and 9 describe the present position of the vessel and the expected date when the vessel is ready to load the cargo. The word abt (about) in box 9 qualifies the date with a reasonable allowance with reference to the distance between the present position of the vessel stated in Box 8 and the loading port stated in Box 10. These two boxes should be carefully inserted because there is usually a span of some days until the vessel may be presented for loading and if the owners are unable to present for loading on the date specified in Box 9, they may be guilty of misrepresentation which could be a ground for the charterers to cancel the charter. Boxes 10 to 11 provide information of the loading and discharging ports. It should be noted that some loading or discharging ports may not have enough water alongside at low tide to allow vessels to remain afloat. If the charterers wish the vessel to be loaded/ discharged at such a place, this must be specifically agreed in the 4
6 charterparty. It is important to specify whether the parties intend to have a port or a berth charter. Upon arriving at the contractual destination, be it a port or a berth, laytime shall start to count. An expression like good and safe chtrs berth means the charterers have the express right to nominate the berth at the designated port. Box 12 describes the type and quantity of the cargo to be loaded and whether full and complete or part cargo. If the charterers fail to supply the agreed minimum quantity, the charterers may be liable to pay deadfreight on the shortfall. Where a fixed amount of cargo is specified, it is advisable to qualify the figure with a permitted allowance. If the charterers did tender a full cargo but, for safety reasons such as draught restrictions, the vessel was unable to load the full cargo and rejected the excess, the owners may not be able to claim deadfreight. Boxes 13 and 14 give details of the freight rate (per tonne, lump sum or other basis), freight payment currency and method. When the calculation of freight is based on the quantity of cargo carried, disputes may arise if there is a discrepancy between the quantity shipped and the quantity discharged. From the charterers point of view, the lump sum freight is preferred if they are responsible for supplying a full and complete cargo as that would eliminate the risk of having to pay deadfreight In relation to cargo handling gear, the charterers are entitled to have free use of all of the vessel s cargo handling gear in loading and discharging of the cargo, unless stated otherwise in Box 15. 5
7 Box 16 states the laytime, i.e. the amount of time available to the charterers free of charge for loading and discharging operations. Boxes 17 to 19 give particulars on the identity of the shipper and the agents in the loading and discharging port. Box 20 states the demurrage rate which is the penalty rate payble to the owners if the charterers exceed the agreed time in loading/ discharging the cargo. Clause 21 sets out the cancelling date which means if the vessel is not ready to load on that date the charterers may cancel the charterparty. General Average shall be adjusted in London unless otherwise agreed in Box 22 according to an international convention called York-Antwerp Rules Box 23 states the freight tax payable if it is for the owners account. Box 24 states the brokerage commission and the person to whom it is payable. Lastly, Boxes 25 and 26 state the law and place of arbitration and whether there are any additional clauses agreed between the parties. 6
8 part ii Part II of GENCON 1994 provides the standard terms and conditions. Some of the more important clauses will be highlighted below: clause 1 - introductory clause Clause 1 limits the owners obligation to proceed to the loading port by allowing the owners to complete prior commitments which were already in existence at the time the charter was made. Under this clause, the owners would not attract liability for being late at the loading port as punctuality is made subject to the timely completion of the previous voyage. That said, nothing in this clause operates to displace the implied obligation of the owners to give a date of expected readiness to load based on an honest and reasonable belief. Clause 1 also gives the owners an unfettered right to refuse to put their vessel at the named port and instead load or unload the cargo at the nearest safe port should it be found that there is an unforeseeable hazard or obstruction of a permanent nature at the named port which would prevent the vessel from entering or leaving the named port or result in delay of an unreasonable length of time; or there is insufficient water alongside at the named port to keep the vessel always afloat; or there is a political danger at the named port. If cargo is agreed to be carried on deck, it will be so carried at the charterers risk and responsibility. 7
9 clause 2 owners responsibility Clause 2 provides that the owners are responsible for loss of or damage to the goods or for delay in delivery of the goods only in cases where the loss, damage or delay has been caused by the personal lack of due diligence on the part of the owners or their manager to provide a seaworthy vessel and to secure that she is properly manned, equipped and supplied, or by the personal act or default of the owners or their manager. Given that deck cargo is carried at charterers risk and responsibility (see clause 1), clauses 1 and 2, when read together, seem to suggest that even if the owners are personally at fault, the owners may not be liable for any loss or damage of deck cargo. clause 3 deviation Clause 3 provides that the owners have an unfettered right to call at any port or ports in any order, to tow and/ or to assist vessels, and to deviate from its course for the purpose of saving life and/ or property. clause 4 payment of freight Under clause 4 the freight can either be pre-paid or paid on delivery, though the prevailing practice is for freight to be paid in advance. The choice is supposedly shown in Box 13. If the parties agree that freight is to be pre-paid on shipment, clause 4(b) provides that the freight is deemed earned and non-returnable. This is so even if the 8
10 cargo is subsequently lost in transit, provided that the loss is covered by an exception in the charterparty, or that the charter is subsequently terminated by frustration. Therefore, if freight is agreed to be paid in advance, it is advisable to state precisely when it is payable. Once paid and earned, the advance freight becomes irrecoverable by the charterers. Conversely, if the parties agree that freight is to be paid on delivery, clause 4(c) provides that freight only becomes due and payable upon delivery of the cargo at the destination. In cases where only part of the cargo is delivered, the charterers have a right to decline payment of freight on cargo lost or not delivered. It is important to note that freight is calculated and paid on the basis of intake quantity save where freight is to be paid upon delivery. In the latter case, the charterers have the option of paying the freight on the basis of delivered weight/ quantity on condition that such option is declared before breaking bulk and the weight/ quantity can be ascertained at the destination. clause 5 loading/ discharging Clause 5(a) provides that all the risks, liabilities and expenses associated with the loading, stowage, trimming, tallying, lashing and discharging of the cargo shall be borne by the charterers solely. The effect is that the owners are relieved of all such risks, liabilities and expenses. In addition, the charterers shall provide for 9
11 and lay all dunnage material as required for the proper stowage and protection of the cargo on board. The costs of removing the same upon discharge of the cargo shall likewise be borne by the charterers. This effectively displaces the alongside rule at common law. If the vessel is unable to berth, the charterers may have to engage lighters to bring the cargo to the vessel s side at charterers costs. In practice, the loading and discharge operations are carried out by professional stevedores acting on behalf of the charterers. Clause 5(b) states that the owners shall provide free use of the vessel s cargo handling gear, if any, and the necessary motive power, unless the parties otherwise agree; and provide free of charge cranemen/ winchmen to operate the cargo handling gear, unless prohibited by local regulations. If certain cargo handling equipment is required to be supplied by the owners for loading/ discharging, it is advisable to be stated in clear terms otherwise the absence of such equipment may not prevent the owners from giving valid notice of readiness ( NOR ). It is important to note that those cranemen/ winchmen provided by the owners are deemed to be the charterers stevedores. The effect is that laytime or time on demurrage will not be interrupted where a craneman/ winchmen has negligently caused a cargo handling gear breakdown. Clause 5(c) provides that the charterers shall be responsible for damage (beyond ordinary wear and tear) to any part of the vessel caused by stevedores provided that the Master shall give notice of the damage to the 10
12 charterers or their agents and the stevedores as soon as reasonably possible and shall endeavour to obtain the stevedores written acknowledgement of liability. If the Master fails to give notice in the manner required, the charterers may be excused from liability. clause 6 laytime Clause 6 states that the cargo shall be loaded/ discharged within the time frame as indicated in Box 16 in a weather permitting condition, excluding Sundays and holidays. If NOR is given by the owners on or before hours, the laytime for loading and discharging shall commence at hours. If NOR is given after 12.00, then the laytime shall commence at 6.00 hours on the next work day. NOR shall be given to the parties identified in Boxes 17, 18 and 19 respectively. It should be noted that even if the loading or discharging berth is not available on the vessel s arrival at or off the port of loading or discharging, the owners may still give NOR on arrival there, no matter whether the vessel is in free pratique condition and whether the customs has been cleared. Provided that the Master of the vessel warrants that she is in fact ready to load or discharge, the laytime or time on demurrage shall then count as if the vessel were in berth. Accordingly, NOR can be given even when the vessel is still outside the port limits and/ or the berth is not available due to congestion. Though there is no requirement how the Master s warranty shall be given, a warranty in writing is preferred. It is advisable for the 11
13 charterers to immediately go on board to verify if the vessel is truly ready to load/ discharge. If she is not, the time lost after discovery shall not count as laytime. As to the question whether in such a situation the NOR would be invalidated, it seems that so long as it was given by the Master in good faith, it remains effective. The time used in moving from the place of waiting to the loading/ discharging berth shall not count as laytime. Such exception would not be applicable if the vessel is already on demurrage. clause 7 demurrage Clause 7 provides that demurrage at the loading and discharging port as stated in Box 20 is payable by the charterers upon receipt of the owners invoice. If it is not paid accordingly, the owners shall give the charterers 96 hours to rectify, exhausting which the owners can terminate the charterparty and claim damages. clause 8 lien Clause 8 provides that the owners have a lien on the cargo and all sub-freights payable in respect of the cargo for freight, deadfreight, demurrage, claims for damages and for all other amounts due under the charterparty. By exercising the lien, the owners will be entitled to obtain security up to an amount of a reasonably calculated claim, including the costs of recovery. 12
14 clause 9 cancelling clause Clause 9 provides that if the vessel is not ready to load on the cancelling date as stated in Box 21, the charterers shall have the option to cancel the charterparty. If the owners anticipate arrival beyond the cancelling date, they should notify the charterers without delay of the vessel s readiness to load. If the charterers fail to exercise their option of cancelling the charterparty within 48 hours after the receipt of the owners notice, the charterparty shall be deemed to be amended such that the seventh day after the new readiness date stated in the owners notice shall be the new cancelling date. If there is further delay, the charterers shall have the option of cancelling the charterparty. clause 10 bills of lading Pursuant to Clause 10, the charterers are entitled to insist upon the bills of lading as per the Congenbill Bill of Lading Form, Edition 1994 being signed by the Master, unless the charterers receive a copy of a written authority of the owners or their agent authorising some other person to sign. Clause 10 also gives the owners an express right of indemnity from the charterers for issuing bills of lading at the charterers request and as a result of which the owners may assume greater liabilities than under the charterparty. The most obvious example is where the owners incur 13
15 liabilities to holders of bills of lading under the Hague and Hague-Visby Rules and are unable to rely upon the protection of Clause 2. clause 17 war risks ( voywar 1993 ) Clause 17 incorporates the Voywar 1993 War Risks Clause for voyage chartering, which has been revised and modernised. In particular, the definition of War Risks" has been expanded and clarified taking into account modern ways of war and interventions such as war threats and belligerent events, etc. This clause stipulates in detail what the Master and/ or the owners may do in case the vessel, the crew (or other person on board) or the cargoes are exposed to War Risks. clause 19 law and arbitration Clause 19 deals with the choice of law and dispute resolution procedures. In essence, the parties may opt for (1) English law and London arbitration; (2) US law and New York arbitration; or (3) any other governing law and place of arbitration the parties wish to choose. In the event that the parties make no specific choice in Box 25, English law and London arbitration shall apply by default. The parties may also agree that claims not exceeding the amount stated in Box 25 be resolved by the Small Claims Procedure of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (in cases where English law is elected) or the Shortened Arbitration Procedure of the Society of Maritime Arbitrators, Inc. (in cases where US law is elected). 14
16 In summary, as compared to the previous versions, GENCON 1994 is generally perceived as being more favourable to the owners. From the charterers point of view, it is advisable to exercise caution when using and adopting GENCON 1994 in its entirety. 15
